JUST THE WIND

An atmosphere of fear has pervaded a small Hungarian village ever since the murder of a Roma family. Nobody witnessed the crime, and there are no clues about the background either. Moreover, it would seem that the locals are not particularly keen to see the crime solved. A Roma family who live close to the scene of the murder can sense how fear is taking over their lives. They do their best to take each day as it comes, but experience the atmosphere in the village as hostile. Director Bence Fliegauf stays close by the side of his protagonists throughout the film, making the underlying menace, the pogrom-like mood, all the more palpable. JUST THE WIND is based on a real series of homicides in Hungary, and won the Grand Prix of the Jury at the 2012 Berlinale.
